Well, you've read the notes, the notes had nary a thing on their mind, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home with nary a thing on their mind.
-
And the word of the day is: BALNEAL!
-
I'm watching last night's episode of "Chuck."
-
Just had to share. ;)
-
First, Second and Third Posts (after BK)! Huzzah!!
;D
-
And yet, nothing to say. ::)
;)
-
Will we never get to page two?
-
Will page two never get to us?
-
I'm sort of really actually tired.
-
Soon I will be in my bed.
-
Well, I shall brush my teeth and teeth my brush and toddle off to bed.
-
Good night, BK. I'm off to sleep, too. 8)
-
Balneal - isn't that what men do instead of curtsy?
-
The check came!! Congrats to the patient MR BK.
-
I really liked that Gold Diggers of 1929 clip that DR MATTH was talking about yesterday.
Last night I watched BAND OF ANGELS....whew! And then I watched STOPOVER TOKYO, which I enjoyed much more. I bought it as a single disc rather than part of the Joan Collins box that was written about here by several DRs a few months ago. Lots of nice location filming in Japan, and an interesting if unlikely story. Robert Wagner is so handsome and he has so MUCH hair, and Miss Joan Collins box is entertaining as well. She was a very pretty girl, and could do some acting when she had the chance.
When I see Mr Edmund O'Brien, I can only think of him as Fats....
-
My question for ASK BK day....what is the first movie script you ever read? And what movie script would you like to read?
I am talking of course about movies that have been made.
-
What am I doing up so early?
Well....first of all thanks to all the DRs for their comments on Ryan. They are much appreciated.
-
Because I had to work yesterday, the trip to WalMart was postponed until today, and I was NOT about to go during the day. So I got up at 4 a.m. and drove over there.
It wasn't very crowded, I could park close to the front door, and I found everything I needed. I was actually going for my mother who needed some sewing machine needles and thread. The writing on the Sewing Machine Needle packages sure is small, so it took me a while to find the ones I needed.
Also picked up some blank DVR and CDR disks.....
-
Back in a tick.
-
It's 6:45am. JR you posted at 5:40am and said you'd be back in a tick! You're still not here. Where are you??? Probably back in bed like any sensible person.
Me, I'm at the office to fulfill my half day before the two-day holiday. I have some pages to proof. I must run to the bank and then at 11am I am going to Penn Station to take the train to Ronkonoma. I will wave at Vixmom and WFO and Joe as I go through the various stations. I will be mostly errant and truant the whole weekend. The computer on Long Island is old and seems to be in death throes so it's likely I won't get on-line much.
I'll catch up on Sunday and Monday morning.
-
Good morning, all! I have a lot to do today, but the highpoint will be seeing ENCHANTED at 1:00; I'll see DR Jose, catch up on the gossip, have some popcorn, and enjoy he show both on and off the screen.
Before that, I've a lot of work here on the charts for the Men's Chorus holiday concert, and I have to begin Ashley Brown's second orchestration.
And so to work.
-
Wednesday morning greetings! My internal clock went off at the same time my alarm would have on a workday, so I'm up and puttering. Rob and girlfriend are stopping here for a late breakfast (pecan waffles) on their way to her family's in Michigan.
-
And the word of the day is: BALNEAL!
And The Song Of The Day Is : THE GERMANS AT THE SPA
-
What am I doing up so early?
Well....first of all thanks to all the DRs for their comments on Ryan. They are much appreciated.
DR JRand57, I've been remiss in sending my happiness and I really am pleased for your family that he will be okay.
-
DR Ben - hope you and Anthony have a great weekend on Long Island!
DR Elmore - I'd sure like to be going to the movie with you and Jose this afternoon.
-
DR JoseSPiano - Thanks for the detailed Disneyworld report with photos!
-
***SAFE TRAVEL VIBES*** to all DRs who need them over the holiday.
-
I am sulking because today, besides my own work, I am covering the desks of three of my absent co-workers. Management is being so very generous by letting us out one hour early. I also have to work on Friday.
Ho ho ho! :)
-
DR Ben - hope you and Anthony have a great weekend on Long Island!
DR Elmore - I'd sure like to be going to the movie with you and Jose this afternoon.
Did you get my voluminous attachments yesterday?
It would be nice if you were with us as well. I can't keep DR Jose in line alone!
-
Not much time to post today, but wanted to direct DRs to this love letter of a review for Barbara Cook (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/21/arts/music/21barb.html?_r=1&oref=slogin).
-
DR Elmore - I did, indeed, get all your attachments yesterday. Printed them at work (ssshhh!) and hope to have some time to read them and listen.
Have fun today!
-
Good Morning!
I'm up, I'm up... And I'm seeing movies today. Two! Two, count e'm, Two Movies!
-
DR Jrand - I don't believe I've passed on my Well Wishes and Vibes of "Relief" to Ryan and the rest of your Family either. I'm guessing Thanksgiving came early this year. :)
-
OK, so we all know how sweet our DR Jose is, but I think we should put a warning label on him after all these incidents of diabetics fainting when he is near.
-
Good morning!
Another abnormally warm day for us here. Another high of 75! Amazing.
-
I've read nothing but raves about ENCHANTED today. The local critic have it 3 1/2 stars out of 4. Reviews everywhere else are also enthusiastic.
BK friend Amy Adams is getting glowing notices across the boards (a la Julie Andrews in MARY POPPINS kind of glowing). There's Oscar-talk afoot.
-
We got up early to be ready for the plumber who was going to come and give us our yearly inspection, and, we hoped, run the gas line so we could hook up our new stove.
The estimate to do this was almost $1,000! We almost fainted (and Jose was nowhere near us!) My DH has decided to do it himself. It should cost less than $200 for materials, he figures.
-
Today I'll be watching DRUNKEN ANGEL on Criterion. If the PIRATES DVD comes today as I suspect, I'll save it for the weekend.
-
Let's not forget about PROJECT RUNWAY tonight.
I have pretty much given up on PUSHING DAISIES, but Christopher Sieber is guest starring tonight (also Paul Reubens), so I'll have to watch him. And I'll watch PRIVATE PRACTICE just because there's nothing else on at 9 that I want to see.
-
Good morning, everyone!
I'm finally caught up on the posts and will try to stop by more often.
-
Ask bk:
What's the latest on your book signing? Where and when? My DH, a.k.a. "Oh crap, you want my name?" may be in town and if so, might like to go.
-
I'm fixing meat loaf for lunch today, so I'll be heading down in a minute to get started on the preparation.
WBBL.
-
HAPPY THANKSGIVING to all our DRs!
May you have a lovely, relaxing day, full of good food and even better company
-
Oh, and the estimate to knock a hole through cement block to run a dryer vent: over $600! We are obviously in the wrong business!
-
Hmm... I smell smoke. Cigarette smoke that is. After dinner last night, a couple of us stopped by a friend's new place just for a few minutes to check out his new place. Alas, said friend smokes. I actually don't mind cigarette smoke that much when it is "happening", but I guess I forgot how much I don't like it when it lingers in my clothes and hair. :-\
-Of course, now I'm wondering if I should wear said jacket out today in order to help air it out, or whether I should wear something else. ???

Well... While I was playing Passion at Signature Theatre, an audience member had a heart attack.
When I was on the road with Anything Goes, there were at least two medical emergencies during the course of that tour while the show was running.
During each show I've played at Ford's Theatre (All I Ever Needed To Know...., Eleanor: An American Love Story, Children of Eden, 1776), someone has required medical attention in the audience.
And then during Mamma Mia!... Well... I guess I better stop before I stop getting hired. ;)
-
Well, I should get ready to head down to Lincoln Square to meet up with DR elmore for the first part of my Double Feature today.
Laters...

You have to stop jumping out of the pit to grope meet them!
DR MBarnum almost had apoplexy the first time you met him.

RE: DANCING WITH THE STARS being a popularity contest.
I actually sort of disagree.
Yes, more popular celebs have a better chance (bigger fanbase). But i haven't really seen the public keep people if they are bad.
There have been some more popular celebs (jerry springer, wayne newton). And maybe some stay longer than they should. BUt usually they get voted out before the end.
DISCUSSION OF THIS WEEK'S ELIMINATED CONTESTANT.
**
*
In Marie's case, she actually did extremely well this week. I was impressed with how well she did and how hard she tried. Just based on this week alone, i think she did enough to stay. However on a whole i don't think she is as good as jennie garth.
I really don't think marie osmond will win. I am curious whose vote jennie's fans will go to.
I will also be curious to see who wins. I would be fine with either mel b or helio. Although i've been cheering for helio and julianne since the start.
-
Thanks for the Barbara Cook link, slingjaw.
She's phenomenal.
-
DR Jennifer: Be prepared for Marie to take it all, a la Emmit Smith.
-
The highlight of this evening will, undoubtedly, be "Project Runway."
I can't wait to watch the fur start flying.

SPOILERS about this week's CHUCK

I was just reading DR George's comments about watching CHUCK. I also watched it last night. And i must say for someone (me) who usually sees things coming a mile away, I had no idea about the final reveal. Very awesome!
-
I received, via UPS yesterday, the complete soundtrack recording to "Lord of the Rings: Return of the King." It's quite something. There are four CDs and one DVD. The one DVD presents all the music that is on the four CDs.
I've not yet investigated this anomaly. I think it may be a concert, though.
The book of "Wicked" did not, alas, show up. Even though it was scheduled to be delivered YESterday.

I would be truly shocked if marie won. I really would. I honestly don't think she has been finishing first. She is not anywhere near the level of the other two. And i truly don't see the fans giving her the win.

Yes....they sure kept that surprise on ice, didn't they!
I don't know, maybe it was because i assumed it was set that the friend was dead. Or maybe it was because i did not see any connection between lou's ex and the body. But wow, i was surprised. ANd that could certainly make the show more interesting.
Although i'm guessing rachel bilson (lou) will not be coming back. :(
CHUCK has been a show that i've sort of enjoyed while it's on, but never really looked forward to or loved. I'm hoping this latest development will make things much more interesting!

Charlotte's mother Dona D Vaughn went to Ann Arbor last weekend to see "The Rocky Horror Show." Dona is the first "Bobby" you hear on the OBC of COMPANY, and she can be seen in the documentary in a purple(??) miniskirt. It's been a while since I watched it.
-
What happened to the photo?
-
Over at the Frankenstein place
-
A cold, crisp, and foggy mroning here in Tacoma. The fog is expected to burn off and we will have sunshine. The forecast is the same for tomorrow.

T.O.D.
Ask BK Day!
Are you someone who gets up and walks out of movies if you don't like them; or do you, normally, sit and suffer in silence until the bitter end?
What about theater?
-
Amy, are you working or playing today?
-
suffer in silence
You ARE talking about bk here, right? ;)
-
Amy, are you working or playing today?
I am doing a bit of both---getting ready to round up hams and cakes and sheetrock mud and deliver them to the appropriate parties!
-
Thank you, DR Springclamp, for helping me with my technical issues!

And all this time, I thought Dean Jones was the first Bobby you heard on the OBC. He was followed shortly by Larry Kert. Who knew that Dona was the first?
-
Is Slingbalde lurking, then posting, and then lurking again? I never saw him online.
-
Thank you, DR Springclamp, for helping me with my technical issues!

Yes, if you use sheetrock mud instead of flour, it can be a problem...
-

I could have sworn that your post said "Sherlock mud."

I have got to get motivated here. I still have to go to the store for butter, and for spices for the pumpkin dessert. Hmm, I would rather go bacl to bed!

My baby sister had her baby last night. My baby sister (although still my baby sister in my head) loves children and has waited for many years to have one. Everyone is happy and healthy, and I'm very relieved that all went well because her biological clock was on its last bell.
So, welcome Everett to the world!
-
Hmmmm---I would like to go to LA with my DH, but what with all the expenses involved with moving, new stoves and plumbing, and no work in the foreseeable future, it seems very impractical and frivolous.
So I've decided to go.
-
Congratulations to Kerry's sister, and welcome to Everett!

I love your way of thinking! Makes perfect sense to me.
-
Hmm, I would rather go bacl to bed!
That's a funny configuration..."b-a-c-l"....the "c" and"l" look almost like a "d"...and that's what I thought it said, "bad to bed"....and wondered if that was some fantasy you have...."You've been BAD, TCB! Go to bed NOW!"
:D
-
I have a companion ticket on Delta, so I can fly for free! And although we're staying in a nice hotel in LA one night, we can stay in my old standby the next night after the crew leaves. $78.75 plus tax. Then it's just paying the house sitter and keeping the rental car an extra day.
Well, OK, then!
-
For a minute there, I thought you were putting fun and adventure before needed home repairs!
:D
-
Oh my, Mr. Ron, how you talk!
-
Well, with no working stove, I guess I have another excuse not to cook.
We'll have to get the gas line run and the stove installed before we leave though, because our housesitter likes to cook.
-
You ARE talking about bk here, right? ;)
Color me "dittoing" THAT sentiment! LOL! TCB, you HAVE read BK's columns and posts, haven't you?
:D
-
My question for ASK BK day....what is the first movie script you ever read? And what movie script would you like to read?
I am talking of course about movies that have been made.
I think the first script I ever looked at must have been Have Gun, Will Travel, since one of my schoolmates' father worked on the show. I think the first film script I ever read was North By Northwest.
I think I've read all the ones I'd ever want to.
-
Oh my, Mr. Ron, how you talk!
I can be VERY bossy.
-
Only minutes to go....and then my weekend BEGINS!
-
Actually, up here in the Bay Aree, we seem to be about 7 minutes behind HHW time.
-
Ask bk:
What's the latest on your book signing? Where and when? My DH, a.k.a. "Oh crap, you want my name?" may be in town and if so, might like to go.
Book signing is December 8th at Mystery and Imagination, which is in Glendale on Brand Blvd. just north of the Alex Theater. That would be swell if he could be there.

Are you someone who gets up and walks out of movies if you don't like them; or do you, normally, sit and suffer in silence until the bitter end?

For many, many years I never walked out of a movie - unthinkable, especially as a kid. I suffered through many bad films and may have walked out on a few, although I have no memory of doing so. The first film I remember WANTING to walk out of was The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, but I was in a locked screening room being asked for my opinion (my opinion cost the film a Paramount release).
I first movie I really remember bailing on after about twenty minutes was Newsies.
I never bailed in theater until about three years ago, when I saw a horrid production of something and I just couldn't take it.
-
Oh, and I'm up. Oh, and I walked out of David Cronenberg's Crash.
-
And what time might the signing be?
-
Hi all! I must confess that I am starting to feel better. I think having all the tape from the stitches taken off yesterday helped a great deal. I’m not as sore as I was.
I used my new treadmill this morning for about 15 minutes. I want to start working up to about an hour a day so I can lose some of this weight.
Last night, I watched a DVD called “Eragon”. I bought it as a pre-viewed DVD from Block Buster when I was there a few weeks ago. I also bought “Marie Antoinette”—which I watched the other night.
All can say is that I have to really start thinking about getting a subscription to one of the DVD clubs. While both were entertaining, neither are worthy of a taking up space on my DVD shelve. I’m learning that I don’t need to buy every movie out there. I seriously doubt I will ever watch either of these movies again.
“Eragon” was ok but the main word I would have to use for it was “predictable . “Marie Antoinette” didn’t finish the story—I know she had her head chopped off but the entire story was unremarkable. The only insight I got from it was how boring court life was. I know I was bored.
SPOLIER : Dancing with the Stars.
I’m not surprised about Marie making it. The Osmond’s do have a lot of fans out there and don’t forget they have a place in Bronson (?). I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if she won but I would like to see it go to Mel and Max. Max deserves a win.
-
Hee, Hee, Hee, DR Edisaurus! Have fun!!
And welcome to the world Everett!
-
I don't ever remember walking out of a movie. I guess I just suffer through them.
I do remember looking at my watch during a stage production of "CATS" and wondering how much longer it was going to be. It lost its charm for me after about the first 15 minutes of the show.
-

Good for you, BK. I don't like those kind of movies. We called them "Slash and Hack". I get no enjoyment watching people being cut up in different ways. It makes me think of the old Roman days with the Gladiators. It might not be real but I honestly think it is the same kind of mentality.

DR Ginny, itsn't it odd how when you can sleep in, you can't? I'm doing the same thing. I wake up each morning at 5:30 just like I'm going to work.
-
I have never walked out of a movie, yet.
Peter Jackson's KING KONG is one movie I really, really wanted to walk out on, but I was seeing it with my friend Ron.
Of course it turned out that Ron also had really, really wanted to leave about half way through, as well. LOL!
A few of the STAR WARS films I would have walked out on also, but for the fact that I was with others.
-
Amen!
Amen
:)
-
I have gotten to a point in my life now that when I watch a movie on DVD or DVR, if it doesn't catch me within 10 or 15 minutes I simply turn it off and find something else to watch. I have even done that with a few Bollywood movies...gasp!
-
I think the only movie I have ever walked out of was BROTHER SUN, SISTER MOON. I just couldn't get into it. I would have loved to have walked out of GONE WITH THE WIND. It is probably the most boring four hours I have ever spent in a theater, but I was on a date, and it was their favorite film.
-
“Marie Antoinette” didn’t finish the story—I know she had her head chopped off but the entire story was unremarkable. The only insight I got from it was how boring court life was. I know I was bored.
I wanted to clairify that statement about her having her head chopped off. It’s not that I wanted to see that but I wonder how many kids/younger people knew what happened to her.
The movie made it look like she and her husband just rode away in the carriage.
-
And speaking of Bollywood movies (of which I speak of quite often, I am sure you know) I took TD's suggestion and purchased KAL HO NA HO, which I have always heards is a fantastic movie...I also bought three (3) John Abraham movies, including his newly released NO SMOKING.
You can see John in all his glory (looks like they saved a lot of money on his costuming) in this trailer from NO SMOKING right here ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38IYGCtiH1w
-
And not that anyone here would have an interest in such things, but here is a really, really, really (that is 3 reallys) nice scene of a very, very, very hot and shirtless John Abraham from one of his early films entitled PAAP (Sin)...one of his better films.
He is a fine speciman of a man!
And he uploaded this video himself from his website just for our entertainment.

Well, John didn't actually upload the video, since John Abraham Online is a fan site that was created here in the United States, and not by Mr. Abraham.
-
Mike, let me know what you think of NO SMOKING. It looks interesting.
-
I guess I thought that was John's own website...he does have one, someplace.
NO SMOKING was a flop at the box office, but John stands by it 100%.
I do recommend PAAP, TCB! Really enjoyable movie.
-
We all want to know: will it be as good for him as it was for you?

Even though it looks like I've been here all day, DH Richard and I just returned from some errands. We went to pick up a turkey to cook on Friday (we're going to his brother's house tomorrow). Did a few other errands and now I'm baking a Marie Callendar's Lattice-top Apple Pie. Pumpkin and pecan pies were done hours ago. Rob and Mary Linda were here for brunch and got on their way to Michigan just before noon.

I guess you wouldn't want to date me then. . .I'm one of the GWTW fans. . .not so big on BROTHER SUN, SISTER MOON, but I like it better than the two other St. Francis films. Bradford Dillman is too, too earnest in his Francis movie and Mickey Rourke is just too weird. . .(though Mickey does a strange nude scene in the snow). . .
GWTW has never seemed long to me, nor boring. (I know that there are many on HHW who don't like the movie, but, I'm not one of them).

That is the website I guess I was thinking about DR TCB.

My baby sister had her baby last night. My baby sister (although still my baby sister in my head) loves children and has waited for many years to have one. Everyone is happy and healthy, and I'm very relieved that all went well because her biological clock was on its last bell.
So, welcome Everett to the world!

It will never be over - not while I'm around.

It will never be over - not while I'm around.
Would that be a Helena Bonham Carter reference?

It's a Judy Kaye reference in January in Pittsburgh. . .

Thanks for the Barbara Cook link, slingjaw.
She's phenomenal.
Ron we have to stop agreeing on things. It is becoming unseemly.

I have just made the decision to direct the Chance Theater and LA Festival Of New Musicals production of The Brain - it's a bit of a shlep, but I think it will be fun.
-
When will it play, BK?

Fun! And wonderful! Yippee!
-
We open on May 5th.
-
It runs for seven weeks (in rep with a straight play) and twenty-seven performances.
-
The actors make more than the NYMF actors made, despite this house not being Equity (which we're trying to change and get them Waiver status).
-
We open on May 5th.
Very exciting news, BK!
-
And speaking of NYMF - our box-office check is on its way and its a travesty. Our general manager will be contesting many of their add-ons and charges, which are wholly fiction-based. For example, they charged us for extra lighting equipment. That would be fine if we'd had any extra lighting equipment, which we did not. They charged us for sound perishibles (mic tape, packs, etc) only we bought our own. I don't know why I thought that maybe these people would have done this accounting in a forthright manner, but, you know, it's NYMF. Depending on what they say on Monday, I'll decide just how strong I will be - minimally, they will have to refund to me a few hundred bucks. If they don't, they will RUE the day, oh, yes, they will RUE the day. There is enough dough to barely return everyone who donated to the NYMF fee, so no worries. As soon as I get the check, it will be deposited, then I have to put that money into my paypal account, at which point I'll send everyone their $100.

I am very excited about the news. I think it will be great!

Consider me a BIG GWTW fan. I love the movie even if Vivien Leigh's accent isn't always there.
-
I began my afternoon watching an old CSI episode while I fixed and ate lunch. It was the one where the body of a dead LA cop was found while cops from all over were participating on a team marathon run in Vegas. Good episode. Steven Culp, Mr. Bree Van derCamp from Season 1 of DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, was the primary guest star. This must have been the season before DH started.
-
Next, I watched DRUNKEN ANGEL, an early film of Akira Kurosawa. I had never seen it, and it was quite riveting. Lots of what would become familiar Kurosawa touches, and this was the first film Mifune made with Kurosawa, so that also makes it doubly important.
-
Next, I watched a 31 minute featurette featuring comments on those connected with the film talking about it and about making movies in the late 1940s in Japan. Interesting piece.
-
I also watched today's AS THE WORLD TURNS. The gay characters were on (Thanksgiving episode), but they didn't figure into the plot much at all. No more ATWT this week.
-
And all this time, I thought Dean Jones was the first Bobby you heard on the OBC. He was followed shortly by Larry Kert. Who knew that Dona was the first?
Well, the uneducated think many foolish things, dontcha think?
-
I could have sworn that your post said "Sherlock mud."
Et moi aussi!
-
GWTW has never seemed long to me, nor boring. (I know that there are many on HHW who don't like the movie, but, I'm not one of them).
On a whim, I checked this out on video about 10 years ago and I decided to watch it. I was surprised that I actually enjoyed it as much as I did. :) I haven't seen it since, though. My niece LOVES the movie.
-
DR Jose and I enjoyed ENCHANTED immensely. If you're a fan of SLEEPING BEAUTY, CINDERELLA, and SNOW WHITE, in particular, there are a lot of in-jokes, some wonderful performances, wonderful orchestrations by Danny Troob, a couple of good dance numbers, cames oby several Menken "princesses" (Jodi Benson, Paige O'Hara, and Judy Kuhn), and a lot of comedy and romance. And there's a wonderful line about rampaging rodents. I can't wait to see it again.
-
A heart is not judged by the movies it likes, but by the hearts it shares movies with. :-*
ROTFLMAO!! ;D

We open on May 5th.
Hey, that's my birthday! Maybe I should save up and take a trip. :D
-
I'm going to write for a bit now, and then head back down to continue viewing.
I cleaned the den this morning so that chore is taken care of.
WBBL.
-
elmore, I wish I could say I was a fan of Mr. Troob's orchestrations, but I'm not. I think you are much better.
-
Where in tarnation IS everyone?
-
Will we never get to page seven?
-
It's a quarter to three
No one in the jernt but elmore and me
-
I shall single-handedly take us to page seven.
-
Consider me a BIG GWTW fan. I love the movie even if Vivien Leigh's accent isn't always there.
When it's released on HD, maybe you and I should watch it together - if TCB could make it in from Tacoma, that'd be the icing on the cake.
-
I had Taco Bell for lunch. I know it's bad but I really do like their toy tacos.
-
I'm getting the Love, American Style DVD later and I may watch a couple of episodes.
-
Congrats to DR Kerry and his sister!
-
BK, have you checked out the LIL ABNER tv pilot yet? I am very curious what you think of the Daisy Mae in it...I rather liked her.
-
I did watch it and found it lots of fun.
-
Listening to CDs as I work.
-
Apparently we never will get to page seven.
-
This WUSSBURGERING during the day is heinous (heinous, do you hear me?).
-
And I see people sitting there like so much fish.
-
Page seven, wherefore art thou, page seven?
-
I'm going to get my leather whip, which just happens to be hanging in my bedroom.
-
Lena Horne is singing.
-
I am my own frenzy.
-
Okay, I shall now eat some worms. Oh, that's right - I ate Taco Bell - probably some worms in the tacos.
-
I think page six is messing with my mind.
-
MESSING WITH MY MIND - the new mind transplant comedy about someone trading places with Debra Messing
-
Watching an old season of Project Runway, and Debra Messing is the guest judge.
Any thoughts on who the guest judge might be on tonight's first-run episode?
-
I see MESSING WITH MY MIND as being a wild comedy a la BEING JOHN MALKOVICH.
-
This WUSSBURGERING during the day is heinous (heinous, do you hear me?).
Today is the cut-off day to pay invoices, so that's what I'm doing here at work! AND I have to be at rehearsal by 6:00 pm or so, so I have to enter a lot of numbers into my computer and I don't think that I'll have enough time to do it all before I'm supposed to leave. :o I can come in on Saturday, but that's already going to be a busy day for me, too. :-\
-
HEINOUS AMOS - the name of my new line of cookies
-
elmore, I wish I could say I was a fan of Mr. Troob's orchestrations, but I'm not. I think you are much better.
I've always liked Danny's work for Disney, but, when we worked on the recording BEIJING TO BROADWAY, I found him rude and unfriendly,which surprised me since I'd always heard how personable he was. I think the score for ENCHANTED sounds great.
-
Speaking of orchestrators, today is Larry Hochman's birthday. He's one of my favorite people and a genuine mensch.
-
Good evening. I didn't make it to the movies today. I'm glad to hear that you loved Enchanted. I still plan to see it before the weekend is over.
-
I got a new cell phone, and it's great except the battery looks like it still has several bars when it just decides it's out of juice and shuts off without warning. At least on my old phone, it gave you a warning beep or two. Very annoying.
I left it on charge today, knowing that my home machine could still take messages about Thanksgiving details. But when I got home my machine was full of telemarketer calls, which used up all the space. I guess they figure a lot of people will be home today.
So I didn't get any of the calls I was expecting today about what foodstuffs to bring where. (We have 2 family dinners about 60 miles from each other, which is why we were hoping to have it all here.)
Telemarketers----damn them! Damn them all to hell!
-
Tomorrow I get my cell phone back. It's been a strange week without it.
-
We always cook the turkey that we take to my Mom's house. (We baste it in champagne and it's delicious!)
But since we don't have a stove, I bought a Honeybaked ham and dropped it off at Mom's today, since we have to go to Greg's family's first.
But, if we had cooked the turkey this year, I might have considered this:
NEW TURKEY RECIPE
Your dinner will be the talk of the TOWN!!
Sure to bring smiles from your guests!
Here is a new way to prepare your Thanksgiving Turkey.
1. Cut out aluminum foil in desired shapes.
2. Arrange the turkey in the roasting pan, position the foil carefully. (see attached picture for details)
3. Roast according to your own recipe and serve.
4 Watch your guests' faces...
-
Congratulations to [new] Uncle Kerry! And a big hearty welcome to his new Dear Nephew!
-
Thanks for the film report, DR elmore3003.
-
SO where is everyone....holiday preparations?
-
This is it, so far? You people are going to force me to start my baking.
-
Well, I'm finally done with all of the invoicing that I can do. I need to go to rehearsal. Have a good evening, all! ;D
-
Will we never get to page eight?
-
H A P P Y T H A N K S G I V I N G
To All Of You DR's
-
H A P P Y T H A N K S G I V I N G
To All Of You DR's
Thank you, Arnold, and a very Happy Thanksgiving to you.
-
And since it is still Wednesday (but feels like Saturday), I will ASK BK:
How can the The Chance Theater call THE BRAIN FROM PLANET X a World Premiere?
-
H A P P Y T H A N K S G I V I N G
To All Of You DR's
Thank you, DR ArnoldMBrockman. I wish you and the other DRs the same happiness. I also wish that tomorrow someone pulls Lady M's blond hair out by its gray roots.
-
What is this, the silence of the lambs?
-
The Chance Theater was erroneously told that - they'll be fixing it.
-
Thank you, DR ArnoldMBrockman. I wish you and the other DRs the same happiness. I also wish that tomorrow someone pulls Lady M's blond hair out by its gray roots.
Please, Lar, tell us what is really in your heart.
-
Good Evening!
I had a wonderful day. Good friends. Good movies. And Good Food. And a Totally Beautiful Evening here in New York City.
:)
-
I began my evening finishing up the DRUNKEN ANGEL DVD.
First there was a 24 minute video analysis by a Danish film scholar about the censorship boards Kurosawa had to navigate to get films made after the war. Very interesting stuff.
-
As for "Enchanted" - As DR elmore already stated, it's a beautiful movie. Very clever, and with lots of Heart. -And if I hadn't been feeling a bit self-conscious sitting next to Larry, I probably would have been a blubbering idiot during the final scenes of the film.
The self-knowing winks and nudges that Disney has allowed itself to make are pulled off with a love and respect for the originals. -If that makes sense. And the various cameos and in-jokes also brought a smile to my face many times.
And like DR elmore, I can't wait to see it again.
-
Then I listened to Donald Richie's audio commentary. He was actually on the set during the making of the film, so he had lots of information to impart. A good, chatty track with only a couple of places where there were protracted silences.
-
Next, I put in TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, the latest anamorphic DVD release. I got about 25 minutes of it watched.
It is grainier than the last nonanamorphic release, I think (I don't have it any more), but I didn't find the grain unpleasant. And once I got swept up into the movie, I forgot all about it. I listened to the DTS track. Not really a surround sound kind of movie, is it? Still, I love the score so much that I didn't care.
-
I very quickly guessed the identity of the perp in tonight's PUSHING DAISIES. Despite Christopher Sieber's participation in the show, I had a hard time staying awake. And I did enjoy Ellen Greene's song at the end of the episode.
-
One very interesting thing about today's viewing of "Enchanted"... The theatre we were in was having speaker issues. From what I could tell the center cluster had blown out during the pre-show and previews. Consequently, the sound was a bit low during the movie. However, what that actually ended up doing was to make everyone be extra quiet, and actually listen. -And since a good portion of the audience today were children, that's really saying something!
On the way out of the theatre, I stopped by the customer service desk to report that there was a sound issue in the theatre. Frankly, I didn't think they would do anything about it. Well, when I came back about an hour later to catch "August Rush", there was a HUGE line in the upper lobby waiting to see "Enchanted". And the reason for the line was that they had changed which theatre there were showing it in. The movie was scheduled to start at 4:00, and it was just a few minutes before 4:00 when I walked back in. I hope that audience thoroughly enjoyed the movie as much as we did earlier in the day. However, something tells me that they weren't as quiet. ;)
-
Dating, dating, dating. That's just about all PRIVATE PRACTICE seems to have on its mind.
I did like the cases dealing with the sick nuns and the little baby that Addison gets so attached to.
But all the constant dating stories have quickly soured me on the show.
-
As for PROJECT RUNWAY, I can't find any fault with the two designs that ended up as the bottom two, and I think the one who was found wanting probably deserved it.
But I wasn't enthusiastic about either of the top two designs. Of the two, I liked the one that won better than the second place finisher, but I thought some of the others that were in the "safe" group were better designs and prettier to look at on the runway.
-
After "Enchanted", DR elmore headed down to Barnes & Noble so that he could purchase the soundtrack to the movie. Which he did. We then headed over to The Gap to meet up with DR Jason. Well, then we headed towards Banana Republic to meet up with DR Jason. We eventually met up on the sidewalk, and had a brief but nice catch up session on the sidewalks of Broadway. Then DR elmore headed home, and DR Jason and I headed back into the theatre complex to catch "August Rush". Well...
-
Was there some revelation that was supposed to be made by the designer Jack on PROJECT RUNWAY that was hinted at in the promo for the show, but which I somehow missed during the show? Or did I imagine that in the promo?
-
As for "August Rush".... Like "Enchanted", it's set mainly in New York City. Unfortunately, that's where the similarities end. I didn't not like the movie, but I didn't love it either (like I was hoping I would). However, I will say that I did get a nice cry from it at the end - although, part of that cry was the one I was holding back earlier in the day from "Enchanted".
The movie requires you to suspend your belief and logic at many points during the movie. Thankfully(?), you're sort of clued into that during the opening minutes of the film. It's corny, it's cheesy, and it's "inevitable". But, again, that whole inevitability is set up right off the bat. Just go with it, and enjoy the ride. And laugh out loud - like I did (and others in the theater) - when you get to those couple of points where you just want to say, "What?!??!?!" -But in a good way. ;)
-

That was in the previews for the season. Jack's revelation is a few episodes away. -A friend of mine is handling the publicity for the show, so... ;) :-X

So is ENCHANTED a kids movie or a grown ups movie...or both?
-
So is ENCHANTED a kids movie or a grown ups movie...or both?
I haven't seen it, but it sounds like it has something for everyone a la MARY POPPINS. There are five songs in it, so DRs Elmore and Jose, is it right to call it a musical?
-
Must finish up with some writing. Then, I'll head down to bed.
Good night!
-
After the movie, DR Jason and I walked around the Upper West Side for a while. It was crazy-busy! Lots of people were on the streets, and the traffic was most definitely going at a snail's pace too. Almost every single restaurant we passed by had people waiting for tables. The Wednesday night before Thanksgiving... Who knew?
Since we were in the neighborhood, we walked up to Levain. It was Jason's first actual trip there. He resisted buying/indulging, however, I did not. Jason also confirmed my "suspicions" that one of the clerks was "crushable", so... Maybe next time I'll get a name. ;)
Since we had passed Jacques Torres (http://jacquestorres.com/) newest chocolate store on the way to Levain, we went ahead and stopped back in there on the way back. I have to say, I was quite surprised at the prices, very reasonable. In fact, almost "cheap" in some instances. One kilo of his specially blended chocolate (dark, milk or white) is only $22, and the bags of treats start around $4.00. Who knew? I will most certainly be making a return trip there to sample some of their confections.
I also ended up stopping into Grandaisy Bakery (http://grandaisybakery.com/). GB just opened a location on 72nd Street - the original is down in SoHo. I sampled their "Ossi di Morti" which are basically Almond Meringues. Quite tasty, and only 2 for a $1.00! -I think I have a new favorite cheap sweet treat. :)

-
So is ENCHANTED a kids movie or a grown ups movie...or both?
Both. But I'd say it leans more towards adult. It's very Romantic. And, frankly, a lot of the references to the classic Disney films will probably be lost on most kids.
-
After our Culinary exploration of some of the newest shops on the Upper West Side, we then proceeded to walk down to Lincoln Center to check out the tree on the Lincoln Center Plaza. It won't be lit until next week, but it already looks beautiful. -And, still, there were lots of people out and about. Our guess was that since most of Broadway was shut down, that everyone was just exploring the rest of the city. *We also then saw the signs directing people to where the Macy's Parade Balloons were being inflated. Ahh.... And that would also explain the traffic since Central Park West was closed down.
We eventually ended up at Ralph's for a decent Italian meal, then down to Amy's Breads... Which was closing up shop as we approached. Ah, well... -They were out of Monkey Cake the night of Jason's birthday, so we were trying to right that wrong. ;)
Then it was over to the Virgin Megastore. I went ahead and picked up the new 2-CD edition of the soundtrack to "Hairspray", as well as the 2-DVD set. -And I also spied the Locker Gift Set - what a hoot! "Available in Penny Pink or Link Lime". Oh, and the soundtrack for "Enchanted". And since I had a couple of $5.00-off coupons, well... :)
-
So, all in all, it really was quite a wonderful day. DR Jason hits the road this weekend for his tour of "A Christmas Carol", so it will be a couple of weeks before I see him again. He really has become quite a good and close friend over the past couple of years. -And to think that we owe it all to HHW. We met in person for the first time a few years ago back down in DC when I was working on South Pacific at Arena Stage. However, it truly does feel like we've known each other much longer than that. *Jason will be sending out word regarding his itinerary. It turns out that only will be be in Dayton, OH, but he's also playing a few dates in parts of Indiana, so... We'll see.
And I'm also glad I got to spend a bit of time with Larry today as well. Another near and dear friend. *And I do have to wonder how it would have been if he had joined us to see "August Rush". Something tells me he would not have been as "entertained" as I was. ;)
I truly am Thankful for them and everyone else here at HHW.
-
And, of course, Miss Juliana Hansen premiered the A Happy Working Song in our benefit and brought the house down.
-
Will we never get to page nine? After all, it's nine o'clock.
-

But I wasn't enthusiastic about either of the top two designs. Of the two, I liked the one that won better than the second place finisher, but I thought some of the others that were in the "safe" group were better designs and prettier to look at on the runway.
What is with that strange designer who looks and acts like Agnes Gooch? Nelly is as nelly does and that young queen makes Sanjaya look positively masculine. Is he wearing one of Ann Miller's old hairdos?
-
And as if my day could not get any better...
I had made a reservation to take a bus tomorrow morning down to DC. However, I then realized that the bus pick-up spot is right down at 8th Ave and 34th Street - right by Penn Station, and right by Herald Square and the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. And I also have a feeling that this bus line is sort of "first-come, first-served", and I really don't want to end up stranded down at Penn Station tomorrow morning, so...
I had checked JetBlue the other day, and saw an early morning flight, 6:45, going for $150. Well, when I got back tonight, it was still there, and still had seats available. So, I went ahead and checked Delta and USAir to see if they had any comparable deals. They didn't. However, when I went back to JetBlue's site, the fare had dropped to $140. Cool! And then when I went and confirmed my reservation, the priced dropped again to $130! I guess it was meant to be!
-Of course, I still have to pack as well as organize some things here around the apartment, which means I probably won't sleep tonight - I need to leave here around 4:00am :-\ BUT, I can sleep once I'm down at my brother's house in Fairfax. Dinner won't be served until around 5:00, so Uncle Jojo should be able to get a good nap in.
-

ENCHANTED is a lovely musical. It has two big dance sequences, the one in Central Park particularly endearing, and about the same number of songs as SWINGTIME, another of my favorite movie scores. I never would have guessed that James Marsden would blossom into such a wonderful performer: his Prince is a hoot.
DR MBarnum, I think you will love ENCHANTED. Your niece will as well.
-
Regarding the reveal by Jack on Project Runway in the coming weeks - SPOILER - if you want to be kept in the dark until the show reveals it, don't read further and don't click on the link to the Daily News, but I hope this is not what they're building up in this "sensationalistic" way

I'll be flying JetBlue out of JFK - which is why I have to leave sort of early(!).

SAFE TRAVEL VIBES TO ALL~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Does anyone know whether cabs on the street are plentiful at Boston South Station these days? I'm taking the train to Boston on Saturday for a memorial service in Framingham on Sunday afternoon, and wondering if getting a cab from South Station in Boston is just a matter of going on the street and hailing a cab, or if I need to call a car service ahead of time.
-
I'll be flying JetBlue out of JFK - which is why I have to leave sort of early(!).
Lordy! The trip to JFK is as long as your bus ride to DC.
-
I've gone to Framingham from Boston and I could not find a cab - almost a "1776" reference
-
We'd best have lots of detailed Thanksgiving Day festivity and food reports tomorrow.
-
I'm on my third motion picture on DVD.
-
Bedtime viewing will be the first episode of Love, American Style. I didn't realize the first season was in 1969. There were two popular shows that I always wanted to do and never got to - Room 222 (I certainly read for about ten episodes), and Love, American Style (which I never ever even had a reading for, despite having worked on the Paramount lot a bunch of times).
-
Pray Tell-What are The DVD's ??

Room 222 was one of my favorites. It's theme is one of the first songs I memorized on the piano
-
Lordy! The trip to JFK is as long as your bus ride to DC.
Tell me about it. Now I'm pondering whether or not to splurge on the taxi or car service out there in a few hours.
-
And speaking of a few hours... I guess I should start packing!
Laters...
-
Well, I should get some sleep. I have promised to try to be on the road by 8:00 AM so I can do some chores around the house for my parents before the family arrives for dinner. I'm looking forward to going up tomorrow but am SOOO glad I'm coming back home.
I'm recording the Macy's parade. I'm curious to see what the Legally Blonde cast is wearing.
-
They're doing "What You Want" I think, that will certainly look different without band uniforms
-
What is this, the silence of the lambs?
Sweetie, I'm a lion. . .born under the zodiac sign of LEO. And. . .I'm not silent often. ;)
-
Well, I'm packed. Now I'm just going through some mail and some papers and some e-mail... Although a hour cat-nap might also be in my near future. We shall see.
-
I gotta tell you.

DH Jayson and I will be spending part of Thanksgiving with his aunt at her retirement home in nearby Mount Pleasant. Fortunately, Zach is welcome there - though not under the table in the dining room! We can unleash him at the front door; he races through the common areas, up the stairs, and knows exactly which door is hers - very cute.

I'm just looking at a stray Harry & David holiday catalogue that arrived today and drooling a bit. :P
